Name______Kaitie Seay ___________________________

Student Grade Level________2nd ________________________________________

My student that I picked for my spelling inventory is a second grader in the early derivational spelling stage. She was able
to spell many of the blends and endings but had a harder time with the rr words and words that included ize at the
end. Her strengths included unaccented final syllables and syllable juncture. The weaknesses that I found while doing the
spelling inventory included harder suffixes and bases or roots. The instructional development needed for this student
would be focusing on harder suffixes.
